Indy, get priorities in order

As of the date and time I'm writing this letter, Indianapolis had just had its ninth shooting in six days. One hit close to home Sunday night. Very close.

Mayor Greg Ballard and other city officials: Forget about cricket stadiums! Apply the money toward community safety programs, more police officers and the things that are actually important for our city today.

The local government seems to think that a cricket stadium will bring more people to our city. You are wrong. Dead wrong. Any family looking to relocate is not going to select a city becuase it has a cricket stadium, but rather becuase it is a safe place to live, work and raise their children.

Time to get our priorities in line Indianapolis. With each shooting that occurs in this city, you lose people, businesses, conventions and sporting events

What really matters to you?
